“Lady Enid” is a 74ft/23m/21-birth John G. Alden Ketch, built by John Cockle in Milperra, Sydney and launched in 1961.  This beautiful racing yacht takes us back in time to the days when Australia’s most famous sailing races were dominated by timber boats designed with timeless, graceful lines. Lady Enid is well known within the established Australian yachting fraternity and has a long tradition of racing including five Sydney to Hobart races and 15 Brisbane to Gladstone races, sealing her place in Australian racing history when she came first over the line in the first ever Sydney to Brisbane (now Mooloolaba) race in 1964. The Graham family now own this beautiful lady and have given her a home sailing the beautiful Whitsunday Islands. They gave her a wonderful restoration over a period of six months. She now showcases as an elegant adventure sailing experience through the magnificent Whitsunday Islands to Whitehaven Beach.

On board: Maximum 24 passengers, out of a capacity of 36.
